Auditory and visual differences in time perception.
TLDR
Intersensory differences in temporal judgments, that is, auditory stimuli are perceived as longer than physically equivalent visual stimuli, are confirmed, and an interaction of boundary modality and interval modality suggested that auditorially defined intervals provided more temporal information about events occurring in close temporal proximity than visually defined intervals.Abstract:
The present experiment assessed intersensory differences in temporal judgments, that is, auditory stimuli are perceived as longer than physically equivalent visual stimuli. The results confirmed the intersensory difference. Auditorially defined intervals were experienced as longer than visually defined intervals. Auditory boundaries were perceived as longer than visual ones. An interaction of boundary modality and interval modality was obtained which suggested that auditorially defined intervals provided more temporal information about events occurring in close temporal proximity than visually defined intervals. It was hypothesized that cognitive factors, specifically stimulus complexity, would affect the auditory and visual systems differentially. This hypothesis was not substantiated, although highly complex stimuli were experienced as longer than those of low complexity.read more

A temporal distinctiveness theory of recency and modality effects.

TL;DR: Four experiments confirm qualitative and quantitative predictions of the temporal distinctiveness theory of contextually cued retrieval from memory, including the prediction of auditory superiority at the beginning of the list when the initial items are temporally distinct.

Time perception: modality and duration effects in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
TL;DR: Visual–spatial memory was found to be a significant predictor of visual and auditory duration Discrimination at longer intervals in the ADHD sample, whereas auditory verbal working memory predicted auditory discrimination at longer interval in the control sample.

What is common to brain activity evoked by the perception of visual and auditory filled durations? A study with MEG and EEG co-recordings.
TL;DR: EEG and MEG scalp data were simultaneously recorded while human participants were performing a duration discrimination task in visual and auditory modality, separately, and the involvement of frontal and parietal cerebral cortex in human timing was demonstrated.

Duration processing in children as determined by time reproduction: implications for a few seconds temporal window.
TL;DR: Observations indicate that the upper limit for TI is a stable feature across the different age groups and an age-related modulation within the temporal window of the operating TI seems to be linked to cognitive development.

Vibro-tactile and visual asynchronies: sensitivity and consistency.
TL;DR: The results showed that tactile empty intervals must be 8.5% shorter to be perceived as long as visual intervals, which indicates that the Weber law holds for the range of interval lengths tested.

Studies of Auditory-Visual Differences in Human Time Judgment: 1. Sounds are Judged Longer than Lights:
TL;DR: Six experiments are reported which confirm the robustness of this auditory-visual difference in time judgment and highlight two factors which contribute to its continued presence, movement for vision and intensity for audition.

Judgment of Filled and Unfilled Durations: Intersensory Factors
TL;DR: Two experiments investigated the judgments of filled auditory and visual durations with the estimation of unfilled intervals bounded by discrete lights and sounds to find the intersensory difference was independent of stimulus pattern while the filled-unfilled difference was dependent upon sense mode, order effects and internal temporal standard.
